Redistricting is the problem of partitioning a set of geographical units into a fixed number of districts, subject to a list of often-vague rules and priorities. In recent years, the use of randomized methods to sample from the vast space…
Recently, due to the genomic sequence analysis in several types of cancer, the genomic data based on {\em copy number profiles} ({\em CNP} for short) are getting more and more popular. A CNP is a vector where each component is a…
We consider optimization problems involving the multiplication of variable matrices to be selected from a given family, which might be a discrete set, a continuous set or a combination of both. Such nonlinear, and possibly discrete,…
An important application of distance geometry to biochemistry studies the embeddings of the vertices of a weighted graph in the three-dimensional Euclidean space such that the edge weights are equal to the Euclidean distances between…
In this paper, we define the geometric median of a probability measure on a Riemannian manifold, give its characterization and a natural condition to ensure its uniqueness. In order to calculate the median in practical cases, we also…
De novo genome assembly focuses on finding connections between a vast amount of short sequences in order to reconstruct the original genome. The central problem of genome assembly could be described as finding a Hamiltonian path through a…
Given a dissimilarity matrix, the metric nearness problem is to find the nearest matrix of distances that satisfy the triangle inequalities. This problem has wide applications, such as sensor networks, image processing, and so on. But it is…
Genome rearrangements are evolutionary events that shuffle genomic architectures. Most frequent genome rearrangements are reversals, translocations, fusions, and fissions. While there are some more complex genome rearrangements such as…
The problem of reconstructing evolutionary trees or phylogenies is of great interest in computational biology. A popular model for this problem assumes that we are given the set of leaves (current species) of an unknown binary tree and the…
In this work we study the interleaving distance between merge trees from a combinatorial point of view. We use a particular type of matching between trees to obtain a novel formulation of the distance. With such formulation, we tackle the…
The classical branch-and-bound algorithm for the integer feasibility problem has exponential worst case complexity. We prove that it is surprisingly efficient on reformulated problems, in which the columns of the constraint matrix are…
The article presents the theoretical foundations of the algorithm for calculating the number of different genomes in the medium under study and of two algorithms for determining the presence of a particular (known) genome in this medium.…
Accelerated Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) image reconstruction remains a critical challenge due to the trade-off between scan time and image quality, particularly when generalizing across diverse acquisition settings. We propose…
Given a matrix $A$, a linear feasibility problem (of which linear classification is a special case) aims to find a solution to a primal problem $w: A^Tw > \textbf{0}$ or a certificate for the dual problem which is a probability distribution…
Previous divide-and-conquer segmentation analyses of DNA sequences do not provide a satisfactory stopping criterion for the recursion. This paper proposes that segmentation be considered as a model selection process. Using the tools in…
The diagonalization of general mass matrices is a more delicate problem when eigenvalue degeneracies exist. In this case, often overlooked in the literature, some difficulties arise related to the freedom in the choice of basis in…
Finding the k-medianin a network involves identifying a subset of k vertices that minimize the total distance to all other vertices in a graph. This problem has been extensively studied in computer science, graph theory, operations…
The Single Cut or Join (SCJ) operation on genomes, generalizing chromosome evolution by fusions and fissions, is the computationally simplest known model of genome rearrangement. While most genome rearrangement problems are already hard…
